  • Mentor and develop Project Managers, Project Engineers, and project staff.
  • Ensure compliance with safety, environmental, and quality requirements.
  • Drive successful project outcomes while maintaining exceptional client satisfaction.

    • Change order management
    • Cost forecasting and earned value reporting
    • CPM scheduling (Primavera P6 and/or Microsoft Project)
    • Self-perform construction operations
  • Demonstrated leadership experience managing Project Managers, Project Engineers, Superintendents, and field teams.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, problem-solving, and organizational skills.

Preferred Certifications
